Li Jinhua was cherishing her two great-grandchildren and was already reluctant to let them leave her side. When she heard him say that there was going to be chaos outside, she became even more worried. "Jing'er and Bao Bao are still so young? They won't be able to help you if they go out with you, and it will delay your work. Why not let them stay at home?"

"Li'er, your grandma is right," Xiao Shugen frowned and advised him, "The children are still young, and Yuan'er is still a little boy. Not only will it be tiring to go out with you, but you also have to take care of their safety. It will be inconvenient to do anything. It's better to leave the children at home."

Lin Qing, however, did not rush to persuade him. Seeing that he was unmoved, he frowned and asked him, "Do they really have to go with us?"

"Yes, they must go together." Xiao Li nodded at Lin Qing, then looked at the old couple and explained calmly, "Letting the children go with Yuan'er is to let them participate in what Qingshan Temple is going to do. This will only benefit them.

Grandpa and grandma, we will go with Taoist Qingshan. You are all very clear about his abilities. If this trip doesn't go well, I don't think he will let me take the children and husband with me. What do you think?"

If Xiao Li had mentioned someone else, even Taoist Qingxu, Xiao Shugen and Li Jinhua might not have believed it, but when he mentioned Yu Qingshan, the two of them hesitated.

Taoist Qingshan saved Li'er's life, and later his master gave them this farm. He loved the two children very much and said that they both had the nature to learn Taoism.

If Li'er had not said at the time that the child was still young and he did not want to make decisions for the child, and said to wait until the child was older and let the child decide for himself, so that the child would not dislike it when he grew up, otherwise the children would probably all be disciples of Taoist Qingshan now.

Although this matter has not yet been accomplished, they actually regard each other as half-masters of their children.

Xiao Shugen sighed, his originally serious expression becoming kind. "Master Qingshan didn't say anything, so I won't say anything either. But Li'er, I want to know if what you are going to do is dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous." Whether it was to kill Zhou Yucheng, or to face the famine in the north, or even to take her husband and children with her, it was not dangerous for Xiao Li.

Moreover, he had no intention of letting them travel with him. He just wanted them to stay in the space and come out when they were not in a hurry.

The reason why I brought them along was not only because I didn't want to expose my biggest weakness to others, but also because I was worried.

The famine in Liangzhou was like the prologue of the plot. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continued afterwards. Even though Yu Qingshan and others made a lot of preparations, some things were unavoidable.

It is true that the capital is the most stable place in the world, but no one can guarantee that the capital will not be in chaos.

Although the Xiao family and Lin Qing are now his relatives, and he treats them as his relatives, there is always an invisible barrier between them.

They didn't notice it, but they felt it.

His husband and children were his real family. He was worried when he saw them staying behind when he was leaving.

Hearing him say that it was not dangerous, Xiao Shugen was obviously relieved. He looked at the old woman who looked reluctant and patted her shoulder gently. "Old woman, we are old now. Let the younger generation handle their own affairs."

"Do we have to do it now?" Li Jinhua looked at Xiao Li with heartache.

Xiao Li nodded, "Yeah."

Li Jinhua couldn't refuse even if she wanted to. "Li'er has made up his mind. Grandma won't say anything. When you're away from home, remember to take good care of yourself, your children, and your husband."

Seeing Li Jinhua's eyes sparkling with tears and a look of reluctance, Xiao Li hugged her gently and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I know."

The old couple had passed the test, but Lin Qing hadn't. "What is it that requires the three of them?"

Xiao Li didn't intend to reveal anything, just to put his mind at ease. He carefully considered his words, looked at him calmly and said, "Accumulate merit."

"What is accumulating merit?" Xiao Shugen and Li Jinhua looked at him in confusion.

They didn't know that Lin Qing, as Yu Qingshan's half-disciple, knew something.

He explained to them, "Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will bring you more merit. People with more merit will have a smoother life than those without merit. Even if there is a disaster, it can be turned into good fortune."

"Little Daddy is right." This was also why Xiao Li wanted to take his husband and children with him to accumulate merit. "Yuan'er had a calamity before, and Taoist Qingshan gave him a way to resolve it, which is to accumulate merit."

As for who is accumulating merit, that is not important.

Li Jinhua, who was originally reluctant to part with her child, widened her eyes for a moment when she heard this. "Li'er, you never told us about this? Does Yuan'er know about this too?"

In her memory, Yuan Ge'er was happy every day, but a person who knew he was in trouble would not be like that.

"...He knows." Xiao Li never told Lu Yuan about the death calamity, not only because he was afraid that he would be worried, but also because he was reluctant to let him go. It was only Yu Qingshan who leaked the news to him.

Li Jinhua thought to herself, "No wonder, you two kids are so special. After all these years, you still don't tell us anything."

"There's no need for everyone to worry about things I can handle." Xiao Li said, looking at Lin Qing, "Don't worry, little daddy. I will bring Yuan'er and the child back the same way I took them out."

Lin Qing naturally believed in his abilities, and with Yu Qingshan around, he felt even more at ease. However, he still habitually reminded him, "When you're out, your safety is paramount."

"Yes." After dealing with the patriarch, Xiao Li officially notified everyone during dinner.

Like the old couple, Xiao Laosan and his wife also tried to persuade him, but with the help of the old couple, they quickly accepted it. It was Bao Ge'er who couldn't accept it.

The little guy was eating happily, but when he heard that they were going out without him, he looked like the sky had fallen.

Bao Ge'er put down the bowl, sniffed and ran to hug Xiao Li's arm, and acted like a spoiled child, "Fourth brother~ Bao'er wants to go too~"

"No!" Lin Cao was the first to object. He looked at Bao Ge'er with a stern face, which was rare for him. "Xiao Manbao, your fourth brother went out to do something, not to have fun. What can he do with you?"

"Jing'er and Bao Bao can go too!" Bao Ge'er pouted and retorted unconvincedly, gently shaking Xiao Li's arm, "Fourth brother, can't Bao'er go with us?"

"Not this time, can you bring Bao'er with you next time?" Xiao Li held him on his lap and fed him a mouthful of food. "Fourth brother needs Jing'er and Bao Bao's help for what he's doing. We're going to do some serious work, and it's not convenient to bring Bao'er with us."

Hearing this, Bao Ge'er's mouth pursed, but he didn't cry. Instead, he said with great sadness: "Bao Ge'er can also help..."

As he said that, Bao Geer looked at Lu Yuan and called him with a flat mouth, "Brother~"

During the past two years of studying, Baoger and he have always been brothers in difficulty. Although there is a difference of more than ten years between them, they have a very good relationship.

Lu Yuan was a soft-hearted person, and when Bao Ge'er looked at him and acted like a spoiled child, he couldn't resist any longer. "Then I'll ask your fourth brother for Bao Ge!"

He nudged Xiao Li with his leg under the table, "Otherwise..."

"Brother Yuan, don't spoil him," Lin Cao said, speaking in a rare, unyielding tone. "He's been studying for three years, and he's not clueless. He's just acting like this because you and Li'er love him."

He said with a stern face, looking at Bao Ge'er, "Bao'er, come here to little daddy."

The little guy looked around at the others. None of the adults said anything. They just winked at him, telling him to go to the forest and grass quickly, so as not to make his little daddy even angrier.

Lu Yuan wanted to plead for Baoger, but after seeing Xiao Li shook his head at her implicitly, she closed her mouth again. She looked at Baoger who was walking slowly towards the forest and grass with heartache, and sighed in her heart.

Baoer, Baoer, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but your fourth brother won’t let you, and your little daddy won’t allow you to go with him, so there’s nothing I can do.

Xiao Ruixue and Xiao Ruijing were also watching. Although the two little guys were only a little over two years old, they inherited the intelligence of their two fathers and roughly knew what was going on.

They played with this little uncle all day long, so naturally they liked him very much. Seeing their uncle like this, the two children couldn't help but look to Xiao Li for help.

It's just that little Ruijing's gaze was very restrained, and his little mouth was tightly pursed. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to notice that he was different from usual.

Xiao Ruixue was different. He stretched out his hand directly towards Xiao Li and said, "Daddy, hold me~"

Hearing this, Xiao Lile took him from Lu Yuan's arms, let him sit on his lap, and asked him while feeding him: "Baby, what do you want to say?"

"Can't my uncle go with me?" Little Ruixue tilted her head and looked at him doubtfully, "Baby wants to go with my uncle, Daddy~"

Although little Ruijing didn't say anything, he nodded when he heard his brother's words, and looked at his omnipotent father with expectant eyes.

If it was something else, Xiao Li could still discuss it with them, but this matter really couldn't be done, "Baby, dear, your uncle can't go with us.

You and your brother follow Daddy and Little Daddy, right? Then does your uncle have to follow his Daddy and Little Daddy too? Baby, there is no way you can ask Daddy about this matter. You have to ask Third Grandpa and Third Uncle. "

In the past few years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Baoger was raised by him.

He treated Baoger as his own brother, but he was only an older brother after all and had no right to take him away from his parents.

Moreover, they will definitely enter the space frequently during this trip. Baoger doesn't know about the space, and he doesn't plan to tell Baoger.

He believed that Bao Ge'er's heart was with him, but what about the future? Bao Ge'er would get married, have children, and have his own family. Would he still be devoted to him at that time?

Xiao Li didn't want to make unnecessary assumptions, he would eliminate such risks from the source.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruixue looked at Xiao Laosan and his wife again. Before he could speak, Xiao Laosan had already shaken his head at him guiltily, "Baby, be good. Third Grandpa always listens to you, Third Grandpa. Baby, you should ask Third Grandpa."

The little fellow uttered an "Ah" in disappointment, then looked at Lin Cao, who was standing beside him with a serious expression. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard...

"Snapped--"

Lin Cao deliberately put on a stern face and slapped Bao Ge'er's palm. "Have I read so many books just to make you disobedient?"

The little guy's eyes were filled with tears instantly, but he stubbornly refused to let the tears flow out of his eyes, "Bao'er is not disobedient..."

Even though he tried to hold it back, Baoger was still only a seven-year-old child after all, and his sobs were very obvious.

Lin Cao held his hand, looked at his red palm, and her eyes also turned red, but she still had a cold face, "Then why do you insist on going out with your fourth brother?

Your fourth brother isn't going out to play, he has something to do. If you go with him, you'll have to trouble him to take care of you. Isn't that a burden to him? Isn't that disobedience?"

"Woo... Baoer is not disobedient." It was the first time that the little guy was beaten, and also the first time that he was looked at like this by his little daddy. He was extremely scared.

When he opened his arms to hug her, Lin Cao pushed him away with a cruel heart, "Stand still!"

"Woo..." Bao Ge'er stood up sobbing, looking at him pitifully and helplessly, "Little, little daddy~"

Xiao Lao San's most devoted slave boy, seeing Bao Ge'er like this, his eyes also became moist, "Cao Ge'er, why don't you just forget it? Bao'er is very obedient, he just can't bear to leave his fourth brother, you should talk to him nicely."

Lin Cao glared at him with red eyes, "It's because you spoiled him like this that he became like this."

"I..." Xiao Lao San felt guilty and looked at Bao Ge'er distressedly, "Bao'er, quickly admit your mistake to your little daddy."

Xiao Shugen and Li Jinhua watched Baoger grow up. They both loved the child very much and were heartbroken at this moment.

But in their family, whoever owns the child has the final say, and it is not easy for them, as grandparents, to interfere.

Lin Qing glanced at Baoger's red palms, then looked at Lin Cao hesitantly, but in the end said nothing.

I really don't know what to say. Even though they live and eat together now, they are still two families. Bao'er's grandparents didn't need to say anything, so it would be even more difficult for him as a relative-in-law to say so.

When Bao Ge'er started crying, little Ruixue followed suit with tears in her eyes, "Third Master~ Don't hit~ Don't hit little uncle~"

He struggled to get down to the ground to protect his uncle, but he failed for a long time. He could only glare at the culprit angrily, "Daddy, let me go!"

Little Ruijing was also feeling very uncomfortable sitting on his own chair and started trying to get up by himself, but before he could do that he was held down by Lu Yuan.

Xiao Li patted his youngest son's butt and said, "Be good and sit still. Daddy will take care of it."

"Hmm!" Little Ruixue believed his words without a doubt, "Daddy, hurry up, little uncle is in pain!"

Xiao Li gently pinched his face, then looked at Lin Cao calmly, "Third Uncle, can you listen to me for a few words?"

Among the family, besides Xiao Lao San, Lin Cao trusted him the most, so he did not hesitate when he heard the words, and nodded slightly, "Li'er, you say."

"If Bao'er was naughty, I would have beaten him, but Bao'er is obedient and sensible. If you beat him like this, not only will he be sad, but you will also feel bad, right?" Xiao Li waved at Bao Ge'er, "Bao'er, come here, Fourth Brother has something to ask you."

In the past, if he called Baoge'er like this, the little guy would have run into his arms, but now he looked at Lincao hesitantly.

After Lin Cao nodded at him, he ran towards Xiao Li, "Fourth brother, hug me~"
